      I agree however they definitely pay significantly less that. They buy these things in BULK so they're getting a big discount. For example a commercial P320/M17 costs $700 brand new but the army only pays $176 each

    A piggy back red dot on top of a prism optic can accomplish the same thing at a fraction of the cost and with more capability.
    The piggy back optic is zeroed for 300 Blackout subs, and is used for CQB for both supers and subs as the point of impact shift between them at these closer ranges is negligible. It sits higher on the rail giving you the "head up" shooting stance that is ideal for CQB, night vision, situational awareness, etc.
    The prism is zeroed for supers as it is intended to be used for longer range, more precision shots.

Definitely beneficial to go from subs to supers depending on ops, without having to change anything on your rifle setup. Not like cost really matters for the military's Special operations units, but i guess a 4k optic could save on a $2300 upper, $500-900 optics, $3k-4k ngal, $600 surefire.

      Except then that defeats the whole point of .300BLK which is to make one mediocre rifle that can turn into a mediocre sub gun with nothing but a mag change. This sight really seems like they want to milk the government for all they can get, they're really getting their money's worth after bribing whoever in the DOD to get both their crappy guns adopted and they're only ones dumb enough to drop $4000 on a single red dot sight. This red dot's probably still built by Holosun too so I'd bet it only costs $50 to make.

    I got to play with that sight last summer when they were launching the Romeo X and RM17. The story I was told was that they aren't expecting to sell many of them to civilians - a tier 1 group asked for it specifically. The desire was to dispatch two gate guards with supers then be able to swap back to subs and CQB. So the price reflects the gubmint paying for it.

And most of the light emssions which expose you happen in CQB, atleast with WML-s. A killflash will also give away your firing position, especially at night.

    I don't see why it costs so much... generally LED tech is much cheaper to make than holo/laser sights from what I understand. I have several EOTechs, and while they are a little spendy this Sig 9T just seems ridiculous. You can get thermal sights for cheaper, several of which let you save multiple zeroing points for different rifles or even like in your case different ammo types or weapon configurations.
    Really for $3900 I'd expect way more features, like an integrated magnifier that can pop down out of the line of sight. And even with that feature I'd not expect more than $2500 for something like this. I know it is brand new, and perhaps the price will come down a lot after a year - but yeah I can't see how anyone can really justify this optic unless money is just not a limitation for them.

      It all boils down to the incredible complexities of the internal lensing systems for two dots within the confines of a rather conventionally sized housing. As the tech matures and manufacturing of such tech streamlines you'll see competitive products coming to market at a lower cost. Sig may even offer a reduced cost sight. This one has every feature they could pack in there. It could also be that a military tender required all of the functionality and durability built into the sight, as we all know Uncle Sugar just loves spending our tax dollars and sending manufacturings on wild goose chases like the OICW program.

    Incredible review, I see forgotten weapons mention this a while ago but had forgotten about it. That being said $3899 is ludicrous!!! I am an Sig fan but even this is too much. I’ll just go with the lpvo and offset red dot on my 300 build. I’m not shooting subs past 50 anyway and you can make a light weight enough build to compensate for the little extra weight of the lpvo combo. We need the budget companies to hurry up and come out with similar products to lower the price of this.

  • @wbpursell
    @wbpursell Před 5 měsíci +5

    I agree with everything you said in the video. A few years ago I made 2 AR pistols: one for supers and one for subs. I got one 4 power with a reticle for either 300 BO or AK 47s that is a prism scope instead of a RDS. And I equiped the other gun with a 1 x 6 LPVO that had a reticle for either 300 BO or an AK 47 round. I put the the LPVO on my gun for supers and the 4X prism scooe on my gun for subs. For a reasonable amount of cash it solved the problem of different points of impact. I am retired and live off the check that uncle Sam sends each month so there is no way I could afford such an expensive scope. The idea is good and if I live long enough maybe I will see the cost come down. For now I expect only the military, with theur unlimited budgets, to buy these scopes.

    But from SOLGW to Desert Tech, every manufacturer talking about 6max seems convinced that they finally did it. They made better 5.56. It has enough case volume and bullet diameter to carry more energy than 5.56 from shorter barrels. However, it is still thin enough to feed reliably from Stanag magazines and also small enough at the base to allow for full strength AR sized bolt faces. Whereas every other "5.56 killer" failed in one of those categories.

They could update the new RCR to 2 dots. I bet Holosun will have a 2 dot system in less than 2 years. Won't have all the wizardry, but will be affordable. Doesn't Eotec already have a 2 dot reticle? But the dots are not independently adjustable?
    The LMT MWS with its monolithic upper allows you to quickly change barrels to different. 308 based cartridges. Or different barrel lengths. The SCAR costs a lot more with less flexibility. An MWS in 5.56 case sizes would be cool also. Why the MWS hasn't taken off isna mystery to me.
